Who's your pick for MOTM today?

Is it just me, or does anyone else have to re watch the match to decide? I was too busy being nervous and pissed off.

Branislav Ivanovic

I agree, just looing at the lisr has got me all confused...

Screw it - went for Ivan, was superb in his 30 mins.

Drogba had a good match without shining through, but because of the goal he is my man of the match.

Why did he start on the bench? He has been great for quite a while now?

He needed a rest? God knows, but Bosingwa will have to do something special to get his place back over Ivan now.

For sure.... He's been very good. I like his cool attitude on the pitch.

IMO if bosingwa was back i think he should be first choice partner for john terry

For the moment .... yes, could be interresting. to see how that works out.

JT as he managed to con the club for the most money this week

Ivanovic his 30 min stint changed the course of the match

Even though it was an adysmal performance from the team I still had a tough time deciding between two players.

Ivanovic came on and was good. He also helped us get the equalizer.

But Drogba played the entire game and even though he didn't create lots of chances he still played well and fought hard.

In the end I think I went with Drogba (put in my vote a minute ago and have already forgotten who I gave it to).

Zhirkov was fairly good as well and some of his crosses was really nice.

Ivanovic for me. Why Carlo started with Ferreira and Ivan on the bench is beyond me, but I am very happy he came on and made an instant impact. Also thought Studge did well when he came on. And dare I say it.. thought Kalou had a decent game, but why can't he play like that every time?!??

Hmm I tend to agree, Ivanovic might have been MOTM if he'd played the entire game, but I think it has to go to Drogba, even though he was a long way off his best form today.

Ivanovic; if only for the cross that led to the equaliser.

Quite a straight forward choice for me today. Joe Cole. MOTM.

Competed for every ball, every tackle and won most of them. One of the few people on the pitch who could actually control the ball, run with the ball and pass to another Chelsea player. In the first half, whilst those around him were still trying to get their heads round Mr Ancelotti's bizarre team selection Cole was demanding the ball, making space and generally showing a will to win that was sadly lacking in a number of his team mates.

I love Drogba but no way was he MOTM today. Spent more time lying down than standing up in the first half.

Well said Just. Pretty much what I was saying in the match thread.

The art of comedy is alive and well in Hertfordshire I see.

Although, to be fair, Ivanovic winning the poll is equally as funny.

Let me guess, you voted for Frank............................................... again.

no clear choice- most of the players that were awful inthe first half improved in the second... only mikel had two poor halves really...

actually jt is a clear winner here- was good in both halves.

I thought Joe was definitely sharper today than in previous matches, but I wouldn't go as far as call him a MOTM. It's hard to single out anybody because the team performance was one to forget.

I thought Zhirkov, Joe, JT (though I'm not sure if he should have done better about the goal we conceded),Ivanovic(great cross) and Sturridge looked better than others but that's not saying much.

Carvalho was poor and nearly gifted them a second goal,

Paulo was caught out of position for the first and offered nothing in attack,

Mikel was doing his usual silly foul routine,

Lampard continued his terrible run of form,

Ballack - I thought Lampard's corner taking needs work but he made Frank's corners look good,

Drogba - brilliant equalizer but a lot of falling over and lying on the ground once again,

Kalou - invisible in the first half, got lively in the second but apart from hitting the post at the end once again proved to me that he lacks footballing brain. I noticed Zhirkov in the second half repeatedly passing him the ball and making a quick run behind the defenses expecting a quick return only for Kalou to stop and waste the ball time and time again.

JT and Drogba

Not sure anyone deserves the MOM award. If anyone I think it must go to Didier. He may have flopped around all day, which infuriates me. But he looked the most dangerous of the lot, had our only two good efforts on goal before we levelled and took his finish well, there aren't many in the team who would have put that away.

Drogba for his goal came just when you thought it wasn't to be,we have not played well for sometime so this was a big big win for us so lets hope we can kick on from here
